or the Title Sound Illegal

Since 2007 I have been going to Wizard World in Philadelphia. Since then they went from an amazing Comic Con to and amazing Pop Culture event. I have become disappointed. The only reason for me to go is for the same weekend grading, which used to be for the same day. Eventually I was able to go to the New York Comic Con and my whole world changed. I knew there was no con that could be better than this. Of course I was proven wrong because the first year after my first NYCC I went to Baltimore and that was strikingly spectacular.

This year I not only will be at the NYCC, but I went to Baltimore and the travesty that is a Wizard World along with a continental shift and arrived at ECCC. My convention experience is growing as well as my lust to get more and more graded comic books. This time around, with a few exceptions, I am going to try to get signatures, high grades, and prospectively good sales. I wrote a few times to see if I could buy to sell, and I was able to but, not to this extent.

A couple years ago I did a thirty in thirty. At the time I only wrote my own stuff and it was a testament to see if I could meet a deadline. I survived the thirty in thirty and started to write for someone else. I conquered that and now I hope to conquer once more. Of course my thirty for thirty became closer to 31 since I started this month instead of October, but I digress. I never fully put my money where my mouth was with the buy to sell. I purchased stuff that I didn't mind keeping. This way I had the excuse if it didn't sell, I would happily keep it. The same could be said for the 25 plus books I am bringing to the NYCC. This is the real test. Can I buy to sell?

Thanks for reading
